The game is expected to start at about 7:35 p.m., about 35 minutes from the scheduled game time. The grounds crew is working on the field, which had been covered during an afternoon rainstorm. Zephyrs General Manager Mike Schline, Zephyrs Manager Edwin Rodriguez and Redbirds Manager Chris Maloney, groundskeeper Thomas Marks and the umpires were examining the field at about 6:45.

Right-hander Clay Hensley (3-1, 3.94 earned run average) will start for the Zephyrs, and right-hander Oneli Perez will start for Memphis. Perez will be making his Redbirds debut. He was 4-4 with a 2.82 ERA for Newark in the independent Atlantic League before the St. Louis Cardinals acquired him. Clayton Mortensen had been the scheduled Memphis starter, but the Cardinals called him up Monday.
